Kid Stuff


This is Brad and his kitten on their way to Colorado. I miss him.
I drove up to NE Ohio to see Brooke & Chris this weekend. Their church moved into its new building and I enjoyed celebrating with them. I don't know if they have pictures of the new building up, but here's their website: http://www.eaglevilleonline.com
Read Chris's blog and encourage him to keep writing. And singing! You should have heard him and Brooke and their deep South song. You can hear it on youtube with the vocalist Brooke tried to sound like, and came really close, except, of course, Brooke was better. :) Do a search for Mindy Smith Come to Jesus, and click on the youtube link. Then imagine Brooke singing it, Chris doing backup vocal and guitar, add a bit more passion and electricity in your imagination--enjoy!
Last Wednesday I came home from work for my one-hour break and went back afterwards totally mellowed. Aaron had a guy and gal over and they were making the coolest music ever. The girl has a phenominal voice--easy, jazzy cool. Jake and Aaron on guitars were wonderful. Aaron's also been playing with a couple other friends at a local coffee shop and will have an even bigger gig downtown the middle of June.
As for Lisa, she and I have been playing phone tag the past two weeks. I need a trip to Seattle real soon for my Lisa fix. I'm getting painfully lonesome for her and Joe.
WRITING UPDATE: Tomorrow is my writing day. People ask how the book is coming along and I say, "Wonderful!" which is ridiculous because I have no offers, editors or agents, what I really mean is I'm pleased with it, and that seems pretty prideful. Let me just explain that it gives me a good feeling to see it really taking shape. It's more concrete, purposeful, moving. It seems like something God could really use, and that makes me feel good. On the other hand, and maybe because God really could use it, I feel terribly under attack this week in many vulnerable, personal areas. Like that crisis in a shoot-out with the bad guys on tv when they yell, "Officer down!" Well, maybe not that bad. Or maybe worse. Just pray.
Thanks for checking in on me.

Outdoor Visitors

Tom was burning some brush at the back of our lot early this evening. I walked back there to talk to him, and lo and behold---a big wild turkey came walking out of the woods on the lot across from us! I thought maybe he smelled the smoke and decided to check it out. And he didn't seem in too much of a hurry, but he picked up the pace when he saw us. A minute later, we saw some more movement where the turkey was, and a coyote peered over at us. He turned around after eyeballing us. I think maybe he was following that meaty looking turkey. I never know what I'll see out here!   And this little thing was inside the screened-in porch today. The green anole made it out alive yesterday, so I guess word is out---Fud isn't a threat! Those are NOT my fingers in the picture.

Me? A Fan? Could Be!

Jennifer Lawrence interview on David Letterman HD - November 20, 2013 I've never been a fan of a real-life movie star (Bambi isn't real). But after watching this interview last night I just might! This girl's hilarious!

New Pets

My garden failed in everything except a pot of parsley. Last week I noticed tiny green beads stuck to the parsley leaves, and a few days later some small black caterpillars, and now.... PETS! Yep. Pet caterpillars. Not Monarchs, though. They kind of look like the Monarch butterfly caterpillar, but these are Black Swallowtail butterfly caterpillars. Love the parsley. They totally destroyed my plant so I bought them some from the grocery store. I put the stems in a cup of water and it's holding up well enough---at the rate they're going they might eat it all before it wilts anyway! I wish I'd taken their pictures on Wednesday when they were less than 1" long. Now they're a good 2" long. Let me introduce you:   This one is named Parsley. Start up the music for Scarborough Fair. Sage. Rose, Mary, and And (yes, one of them is named And. Scroll down and see if you guessed why I named it And). Thymes Seven. Yes, this last one is named S...
